Use Case Description(s) | |
Use Case Description | The AAPM /ASTRO Operational Ontology for Radiation Oncology ( https://aapmbdsc.azurewebsites.net) identifies a prioritized set of data elements associated with radiation therapy, and these elements are specific to the radiation therapy prescription. The data elements of this class are generalizable across all disease sites e.g. prostate, breast, lung, gynecological, etc. High priority values are listed with this submission. |
Estimate the breadth of applicability of the use case(s) for this data element | All facilities that perform radiation therapy or facilities that provide care to patients that have received radiation therapy. |

Maturity of Use and Technical Specifications for Data Element | |
Applicable Standard(s) | N/A |
Additional Specifications | N/A |
Current Use | Not currently captured or accessed with an organization |
Extent of exchange | N/A |
Potential Challenges | |
Restrictions on Standardization (e.g. proprietary code) | None |

Estimate of Overall Burden | These data elements are expected to reduce burden. Typically, radiation therapy prescription information is shared between facilities upon transfer of care. This data transfer is not standardized and can result in rework and multiple submission to ensure all relevant information is included. Including these standardized elements should improve and simplify data sharing. |
